We propose using the human body for b storingb data used in devices for the imminent ubiquitous computing era. In the future, people will use information appliances as powerful creativity tools, using them for taking pictures, recording ideas, and recording voices. Removable medium are now widely used with such devices to record the data. However, data stored on a physical medium is troublesome to handle and thus hinders smooth knowledge creation. Natural storage using the human body would eliminate the physical burden.

From the page 1 free preview:

We propose using the human body as a b storage deviceb by creating an illusion of data being stored in the body. We call this concept natural storage. Natural storage eliminates the problems of size, weight, etc. of conventional removable medium. Actualizing this concept requires developing appliances that give the user the illusion that data is stored in the userbs body. We developed prototypes of two such appliances to demonstrate this concept.

This sounds a lot like Intel's 'Personal Server' concept that floated 7 or 8 years ago. Peripherals used Bluetooth or some other near-field tech to communicate. Supposed to be about as big as an old-school Walkman. IIRC, it never got beyond the concept stage. -- Roy M.
